捧气贯顶法，属知能动功的外混元阶段，练膜络之气。
The method of holding the Qi and penetrating the top of the head belongs to the external Hunyuan stage of Zhineng Dynamic Qigong, and it practices the Qi of the membrane network.
芬气贯顶法买求意与气合，以意引气。通过姿势的开合和意念引导的配合，引动内气外放，外气内收，从而杨通人与大自然中混元气的联系。其功效如下：
The Fenqi Guanding method seeks to combine the mind and the qi, and guide the qi with the mind. Through the coordination of the opening and closing of postures and the guidance of the mind, the internal qi is guided to be released and the external qi is drawn in, thus connecting the person with the Hunyuan Qi in nature. Its effects are as follows:
(一)通过人体与大自然棍元气的杨通，可疏通全身胶络，打通人体关窍、穴道，使人体气脉和畅，从而旺盛人体生命机能。
(1) Through the connection between the human body and the vital energy of nature, the body’s collaterals can be unblocked, the body’s joints and acupoints can be opened, the body’s qi and blood can be smooth, thus invigorating the body’s vital functions.
(二)本功法得气快，气感L 治病健身效果好。是鹤翔庄五节动功的精华。
(2) This exercise method can quickly generate Qi, and the Qi sensation is good for curing diseases and improving health. It is the essence of the five-section dynamic exercise of Hexiang Village.
(三)本功法是行之有效的采气，聚气之法。通过本功法的锻炼，可以迅速地学会与运用发放外气治病的技能。如信息组场治病、信息组场带功等。
(3) This exercise is an effective method of gathering and concentrating Qi. Through the practice of this exercise, one can quickly learn and apply the skills of emitting external Qi to heal diseases, such as using information field to heal diseases, using information field to guide Qi, etc.
(四)通过本功法的锻炼，可产生出许多外混元的功能，可敏锐人体的感触机能，如对大自然的花草树木、山河旗海、日月星辰、风雨雷电的感知。
(4) Through the practice of this exercise, many external Hunyuan functions can be generated, which can sharpen the human body’s sensory function, such as the perception of flowers, trees, mountains, rivers, flags, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning in nature.
本功法是以息[?]气，练功时意想头顶青天，脚踩大地,自己和大自然融为一体。
This exercise is based on breathing. When practicing, imagine that your head is above the sky and your feet are on the earth, and you become one with nature.
在做每一动作时，都耍把意念沿手所指的方向延伸至天或地的极点，外展或合拢部沿夭边而行：揉推和拉气时，意念要放在天迩七进行。
When doing each movement, extend your mind along the direction of your hand to the extreme point of the sky or the earth, and extend or close your body along the edge of the sky: when kneading, pushing and pulling the qi, your mind should be focused on the sky.
page 176↑
这样广收天空混元之气贯顶，导引至肚挤。
In this way, the primordial energy of the sky is absorbed, penetrated the top of the head, and guided to the stomach.
再沿足经导引全部地气回肚脐。即上接夭气，下引地气・把夭气、地气和身体里的拐元气汇合在肚脐，使入体、天体的握元气沟通，人和大自然融为一体。
Then guide all the earth energy back to the navel along the foot meridian. That is, connect the heavenly energy from above and draw the earth energy from below. Combine the heavenly energy, earth energy and the body’s Qi at the navel, so that the Qi entering the body and the heavenly body can communicate, and people and nature can become one.
